Acclaimed Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa’s most recent fiction feature DONBASS, an antiwar satire that won the Best Director award at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard, will have its long-awaited US theatrical premiere, at IFC Center on April 8. Accompanying DONBASS are two of the filmmaker’s earlier Cannes alumni: A GENTLE CREATURE (2017), the tale of a woman in search of her incarcerated husband in rural Russia, which has never been released in the US; and MAIDAN (2014), a powerful documentary of the civil protests that toppled the government of corrupt president Victor Yanukovich and led to a new phase of democracy for Ukraine.
